Abstract
There is disclosed a part inspecting system that can be easily operated by a human operator. This system has an inspected part information database holding part search information, preliminary inspection information, and review information. The part search information contains information about the positions and sizes of defects present on inspected parts. The review information is obtained from a review apparatus that makes a detailed inspection of the inspected parts. Each inspected part is set on an inspected part-holding member. Apart kind discriminating means is provided to permit the user to enter the kind of the inspected part. A preliminary inspection reading fetches preliminary inspection information about the inspected part specified by the part kind discriminating from the inspected part information database. The user selects a desired one from defects contained in the fetched preliminary inspection information. The selected defect is reviewed, or undergone a detailed inspection. The resulting information is stored in the inspected part information database.
